Try

<xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/data [@alias='yourImageAlias'], 'false')/data [@alias = 'umbracoFile']" />

for the path to the image

Dan

Maybe the following code helps althoug it's inline xslt:

<umbraco:Item runat="server" field="mediaItem"
xslt="concat('&lt;img src=&quot;', umbraco.library:GetMedia({0},'true')/data[@alias='umbracoFile'], '&quot; /&gt;')"
xsltDisableEscaping="true"/>

 I found it at http://umbraco.org/documentation/books/inline-xslt

Thanks, I think I'm almost there - I've tried the following:

<li>
    <xsl:element name="img">
        <xsl:attribute name="src">
            <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/data[@alias='promoImage'], 'false')/data[@alias='promoImage']" />
        </xsl:attribute>
    </xsl:element>
</li>

But I get an error:

Error occured

It doesn't seem to be getting a valid integer on this part:

$currentPage/data[@alias='promoImage']

Any ideas?

I think it should be:

<li>
    <xsl:element name="img">
        <xsl:attribute name="src">
            <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/data[@alias='promoImage'], 'false')/data[@alias='umbracoFile']" />
        </xsl:attribute>
    </xsl:element>
</li>

It tests your xslt against the root node, do if the property doesn't exist on your root node you get the error

Try

<xsl:if test="string($currentPage/data[@alias='promoImage']) != ''>
<li>
    <xsl:element name="img">
        <xsl:attribute name="src">
            <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/data[@alias='promoImage'], 'false')/data[@alias='promoImage']" />
        </xsl:attribute>
    </xsl:element>
</li>
</xsl:if>

@jeroen

oops, didn't scroll and check that!

<xsl:if test="string($currentPage/data[@alias='promoImage']) != ''>
<li>
    <xsl:element name="img">
        <xsl:attribute name="src">
            <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/data[@alias='promoImage'], 'false')/data[@alias='umbracoFile']" />
        </xsl:attribute>
    </xsl:element>
</li>
</xsl:if>

Is correct. 

@Dan You're basically using getMedia to get the media node by passing in the id contained in "promoImage", then if you consider  the whole

umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/data[@alias='promoImage'], 'false')

to be a node,

            <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/data[@alias='promoImage'], 'false')/data[@alias='umbracoFile']" />

Gets the part of the media node containing the url

Dan

Same error :(

Actually this doesn't error now, but it returns nothing, as if the value of

string($currentPage/data[@alias='promoImage'])

Is empty.  It's not though - there is definitely an image in there.

Hmm you can test it by the code I provided before:

<umbraco:Item runat="server" field="promoImage"
xslt="concat('&lt;img src=&quot;', umbraco.library:GetMedia({0},'true')/data[@alias='umbracoFile'], '&quot; /&gt;')"
xsltDisableEscaping="true"/>

Place this on the template of the page and it should display the image...

Done that Jeroen, but nothing appears at all (nothing in the HTML at all, not just an incorrect image path etc).  There is an image selected for each item in the repeater - I've double checked by editing them - but it's as if it doesn't recognise that there is anything there.

Hmm I don't know what the problem is then. You can check if the id's are really saved in the xml file. In your Umbraco website go to /data/umbraco.config and go to the node in which you placed the mediapicker. Look for <data alias="promoImage"></data> and see if there is a id in it. This should be the id of the selected media item. If it's not there something went wrong with saving the item. Did you publish the page because you need to do that in order to save the data to the xml file.

I'm just trying to debug this a little.  Doing the following:

                        <li>
                            <xsl:element name="img">
                                <xsl:attribute name="src">
                                    <xsl:value-of select="./data[@alias='promoImage']" />
                                </xsl:attribute>
                            </xsl:element>
                        </li>

Does output a valid media node id - it outputs:

<li><img src="1141" /></li>

So something is working.  It just seems as if it can't get the file name of the file in that media node.

Yay!  Dan, thank you so much (again!) that's done the job.

There's a missing quote in your solution, but here it is in all its glory for future XSLT strugglers:

<xsl:if test="string(current()/data[@alias='promoImage']) != ''">
<li>
    <xsl:element name="img">
        <xsl:attribute name="src">
            <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetMedia(current()/data[@alias='promoImage'], 'false')/data[@alias='umbracoFile']" />
        </xsl:attribute>
    </xsl:element>
</li>
</xsl:if>

Thanks you both for your help, it's much appreciated!

Have you tried

<xsl:if test="string(./data[@alias='promoImage']) != ''>
<li>
    <xsl:element name="img">
        <xsl:attribute name="src">
            <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetMedia(./data[@alias='promoImage'], 'false')/data[@alias='umbracoFile']" />
        </xsl:attribute>
    </xsl:element>
</li>
</xsl:if>

using .  is the same as current()

Dan

oops, too late! Glad you got it sorted

Dan

Hi All,

I have the same problem with the error. I have a mediapicker and in my XSLT the output of a MediaPicker is a node-id.

<xsl:variable name="imageFolder" select="$currentPage/data [@alias = 'MediaPicker']"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$imageFolder"/>  <!-- OUTPUTS: 1419 on the page -->

The above output is 1419. So far so good, but when I put this into the following line:

<xsl:variable name="mediaFolder" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($imageFolder, 'true')" />

I get a terrible error:

Error occuredSystem.OverflowException: Value was either too large or too small for an Int32.
   at System.Convert.ToInt32(Double value)
   at System.Double.System.IConvertible.ToInt32(IFormatProvider provider)
   at System.Convert.ChangeType(Object value, Type conversionType, IFormatProvider provider)
   at System.Xml.Xsl.Runtime.XmlQueryRuntime.ChangeTypeXsltArgument(XmlQueryType xmlType, Object value, Type destinationType)
   at System.Xml.Xsl.Runtime.XmlQueryContext.InvokeXsltLateBoundFunction(String name, String namespaceUri, IList`1[] args)

I looks like the same issue as this thread.

The only way to solve it for now, is by hardcoding the following node id. Also the 'true' must be changed to a 1.

<xsl:variable name="mediaFolder" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia(1419, 1)" />

Do I need to cast something? Looks like the GetMedia does not accept strings as parameter.

I am using Umb 4.0.2.1

Nico

Hello. I think that maybe the value from mediapicker is not an integer. I tried to put in the value as "numbers" and that worked. Is there any way to convert the @alias id to a integer? (I'm very new to this).

In xml, everything is a string so it's not a case of having to cast variables.

The problem with "the value was too large or small..." is that when saving the xsl parser checks your code against the topmost node. If your top node doesn't have the data type that you're checking against an error will be thrown.  You can get around this by checking the box to disable error checking, but this can bring other problems.

You basically need to wrap a check around GetMedia, and call it only if there is a value.

<xsl:if test="string($imageFolder) != ''">
<xsl:variable name="mediaFolder" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($imageFolder, 'true')" />
</xsl:if>

That should get rid if your error.

Dan

I must be really bad at this! I have wrapped it in a check and the error message does not show anymore. However i do not get the expected result (a displayed image). If i print there is a value (at the bottom of the code below) displayed. Obviously there is a value. My test shows the value of 1259.

    <xsl:if test="string(./data [@alias='colImgBottom3']) != '' ">
    <img>
        <xsl:attribute name="src">
            <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetMedia(./data [@alias='colImgBottom3'], 'false')"/>
        </xsl:attribute>
    </img>
    </xsl:if>
    <xsl:value-of select="$currentPage/data [@alias = 'colImgBottom3']"/>

To actually get the image url you need the following:

<xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetMedia(./data [@alias='colImgBottom3'], 'false')/data [@alias='umbracoFile']"/>

as getMedia gets the whole media node xml, not just the url

Dan

Hi Micke, You need to add the path-part of the media item you fetch:

<xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetMedia(<MyImageId>, 'false')/data [@alias = 'umbracoFile']"/>

>Tommy

Eureka! That and the @currentPage did it!

Thank you very much! My final row goes like this:

<xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/data [@alias='colImgBottom3'], 'false')/data [@alias = 'umbracoFile']"/>

is working on a reply...
